INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CAUTION on USE
Product individual notes are shown in the instruction manual. If there is any difference with common notes individual notes shall
have priority.
Before using this product, be sure to read the catalog and instruction manual. There is risk of electric shock or damage to the
product or fire due to improper use.
Input voltage, Output current, Output power, ambient temperature and ambient humidity should be kept within specifications,
otherwise the product will be damaged, or cause electric shock or fire.
If the built-in fuse is blown, do not use the product even after replacing the fuse, as there is risk of abnormality inside. Be sure to
request repair to our company.
For products without built-in protection circuit (element, fuse, etc.), insert fuse at the input to prevent smoke, fire during abnormal
operation. As for products with built-in protection circuit, depending on usage conditions, built-in protection circuit might not
work. It is recommended to provide separate proper protection circuit.
For externally mounted fuse do not use other fuses aside from our specified and recommended fuse.
This product was made for general purpose electronic equipment use and is not designed for applications requiring high safety
(such as extremely high reliability and safety requirements). Even though high reliability and safety are not required, this product
should not be used directly for applications that have serious risk for life and physical safety. Take sufficient consideration in
fail-safe design (such as providing protective circuit or protective device inside the system, providing redundant circuit to ensure
no instability when single device failure occurs).
When used in environments with strong electromagnetic field, there is possibility of product damage due to malfunction.
When used in environment with corrosive gas (hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, etc.), there is possibility that they might penetrate
the product and lead to failure.
When used in environments where there is conductive foreign matter or dust, there is possibility of product failure or malfunction.
Provide countermeasure for prevention of lightning surge voltage as there is risk of damage due to abnormal voltage.
Connect together the frame ground terminal of the product and the ground terminal of the equipment
for safety and noise reduction.
If these ground is not connected together, there is risk of electric shock.
Parts with lifetime specifications (built-in fan electrolytic capacitor) are required to be replaced periodically. Set the
overhaul period depending on the environment of usage and perform maintenance. Also, note that there are cases when EOL
products cannot be overhauled.
Take care not to apply external abnormal voltage to the output. Especially, applying reverse voltage or overvoltage more than the
rated voltage to the output might cause failure, electric shock or fire.
This product is designed under condition Material group IIIb, Pollution Degree (PD): PD2, Over Voltage category
(OVC): OVC and Class of equipment: Class I. This product is designed to be accessible only to service technicians as
part of indoor use device.
This product is primarily designed and manufactured to use and enclose in other equipment.
This product has a built-in fan for air-cooling. Do not block the air intake and exhaust as this might lead to fire.
The output of this product is considered to be a hazardous energy level (The voltage is 2V or more and the power is 240VA or
more). It must not be made accessible to users. Protection must be provided for Service Engineers against indirect contact with the
output terminals and/or to prevent tools being dropped across them. While working on this product, the AC input power must be
switched off and the input and output voltage should be zero.
General installation instructions
These products are optional for installation in Class I end equipment, and must be reliably earthed and professionally installed.
These products are IPX0, and therefore chemicals/solvents, cleaning agents and other liquids must not be used.
The first protective earth connection in the final installation must be marked with the protective earth symbol.
